GOLD

Over the weekend, President Trump addressed the nation to announce a U.S, UK, and French coordinated military strike against chemical weapon sites in Syria. This attack on Syria was in response to President Bashar al-Assad’s chemical attack on his citizens. The initial question of whether this was the first of many attacks was answered 12 hours later by President Trump. He tweeted "The Syrian raid was so perfectly carried out, with such precision" and used the term "Mission Accomplished".

Gold rallied on Friday based on the threat of this missile attack and the increase of geopolitical problems in the Middle East. Last Friday, Gold closed at $1,344.80, up $11 per ounce. This coming week I look for Gold to briefly sell-off on Monday, since there aren’t any more Syrian attacks planned, on its way to break the important $1,350 resistance level by week end. Plus, oil reached a three-and-a-half year high, a strong inflation indicator.

Congressional Budget Office reports U.S. insolvency on the horizon

If you ever needed a reason to hold Gold and Silver for your future financial survival, the April 10th Los Angeles Times front page article gave it to you. The LA times article titled "Deficit, debt are projected to run amok under Trump" warns of a coming financial crisis within the United States. The article goes on to say that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report forecasts tax cuts, and spending will corrode U.S. solvency to levels after WWII. The LA Times quoted the CBO, saying that we will see a $1 trillion deficit by 2020, and a $28 trillion national debt within ten years.

As the U.S. debt and deficits get out of control, it will dramatically lower the value of the U.S. Dollar. As Americans, we value our assets in terms of Dollars, and with the debt and deficit out of control that value will be diminished in the coming years. Looking at global debt, Bloomberg reported that it grew to $237 trillion, up 42% from a decade earlier, as reported in the fourth quarter of 2017. So, I am raising my recommendation for your available investment capital from 30% to 40% as I see Gold/Silver moving much higher within the next six to twelve months.

Today: Gold opened lower, reaching an early low of $1,341 per ounce, but quickly turned higher. A combination of strong demand from Asian and Middle Eastern buyers and a weaker U.S. Dollar drove the price of Gold up to $1,350 per ounce.

SILVER

Last week, Silver closed at $16.63 per ounce on Friday, up $0.30 for the week, but still down $0.40 per ounce since the beginning of 2018. The threat of the Syrian attack on Friday helped Silver finish the week on an uptick. Silver has decreased the Silver/Gold ratio to 80.92-to-1.

Today: When Gold sold off this morning, Silver showed excellent support above $16.50 per ounce. At that price sizeable demand hit the markets and Silver rose above $16.70 per ounce.
